Into The Starry Nothing Poem by Peter Vector

Please let me slip,
Into that dreaming nothingness.
The sleepy stars,
Against the pitch coloured void.

Me in this empty space,
Desolate with nothing, not even thought nor love.
Let me escape to this place.
Only by falling into the deepest sleep.

This dark night,
Reflects the dark feelings that enshroud me,
But as the dawn breaks the cold silence.
I know I also must carry on.

So just for this night,

Please let me slip,
Into that dreaming nothingness.
With the sleepy and fading stars,
Plastered against the tar coloured void.

I see it all:
The stars, the nothing, me, and everything.
Lost, Alone, Forever at Peace,
Good-night...
